   Trigger warning – cliff hanger
   This book ends on a cliffhanger and there is no second book inside as of right now. Although, I did see when I was googling for a second book that she is considering writing a second book on these lovely characters since the TV show has been such a great hit and is moving along to a second season. I absolutely love the dynamic between Cole and Jackie both in the book and in the TV show. Cole is just broken and heartwarmingly smoldering. I personally feel as though the casting of Cole Walter in the TV show is spot on. Now I know that Alex is a sweet boy, but I never really jived with his personality with Jackie. She is such a straight laced person she needs someone that pulls her out of her comfort zone and makes her more. Cole Walter does all that and more for her. I want to call Walter in my life

   Good read
   Hope you plan on revisiting and making into a series would definitely be a good read that would make the charts

   Grief Portrayal/ Love Triangle Thoughts
   The way Novak writes grief is so relatable. Movies, tv shows and even books portray grief as an all consuming devastating thing. And sure. It can be. The moment they tell you? Your knees buckle. The sounds of your sobs cutting through the air sound like the mournful wails of some other person over some other dead relative. In that moment it feels unbelievable that you’re capable of making such noises. But grief after that crushing moment? It’s different. Take any one of your loved ones. You think about them more often than you realize. My dad for instance. Everytime I see the following, it reminds me of him: rice pudding, tostito scoop chips, mtn dew, LSU, or blue plaid. Alive, it’s a nothing thought. Walking down the aisles of a store and I see a blue plaid shirt “dad has a shirt just like this” but after he passed. Those little remembrances were still there. Only immediately after I think “oh that’s right. Dad’s dead” and for a moment, I’m sad he can’t like blue plaid shirts anymore. Novak writes Jackie’s grief like that, in the most relatable way. 10/10 for how she portrayed Jackie’s grieving. But as far as the love triangle? It’s lack luster and anticlimactic. It was so extremely petty. The brothers were literally fighting over Jackie like she was the TV remote the entire time. They didn’t want her for her, they wanted her because she was a prize and that’s it. A brothers pissing contest. The end all be all moment where she chooses the other brother fell FLAT. All this for…that? Yeah. It wasn’t a bad book but the love triangle was just… an aggressive MEH for me.

   This is starting my summer reading! I started watching the series on Netflix and was easily hooked. I can just imagine the show as I read this. Love it!

   Habe die Serie gesehen und musste dann auch das Buch dazu lesen. Das Buch ist fast besser als die Serie und ein absolutes Wohlfühl Buch. Perfekt zum entspannen.

   Este libro está muy bien, pero no entiendo el idioma en inglés. Lo he devuelto y me han reembolsado sin problema. Soy española. He equivocado de comprar este libro. :))
